exactly. don't blame the simps for being affected by directed and successful marketing.
I... sorta still feel like blaming them. They're all grown men, right?
Yeah I'm still blaming them, it just means there's more people to blame. Reminds me of a buddy from high school I had who ended up managing a strip club and how he would tell me about all the guys that would fall in love with one of the women and buy them a bunch of expensive shit. This is actually worse I think.
I can't entirely blame people who are hurt, are at a disadvantage, or are being manipulated. Doesn't matter what their age.
But I mean when has society ever glamorized a fan winning the affection of an idol. From what I've seen, it's only a on the horror genre..
Persona 4, one of the girls is an idol and she's very onto the main character.
Duh, it's Yu tho. Who wouldn't simp him.
